  • The max frequency without modding BIOS is either 2400Mhz or 2666 MHz. I can't prove which one as i have a mix of stock 2400s sticks and 2666s i purchased myself additionally. Because they're mixed, the faster ones are clocked down to 2400 MHz. With CPU-Z i noticed that all of them are running even slower, but i boosted…
  • in the future i plan to mod the BIOS and run all sticks at 2666 Mhz, other people proved it's totally doable. it is also way easier to revert the overclocking in case issues like this come up.
  • Just as a final note to this thread. Currently i have a combination of 2400 and 2666 ram sticks so in the end i'm clocked down to 2400. Or at least i thought so, until i opened CPU-Z where i noticed that RAM frequency was around 900 Mhz. So i opened AMD Ryzen Master and noticed that Memory is clocked down in this…
  • Yeah I think i'll go for HyperX Impact 16GB [2x8GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL15 SODIMM] 1.2V . I was thinking about 32 GBs but honestly i don't believe i will be ever capable to use more than 32GB. In the laptop i'm currently using i have 24 GB, doing web development using Docker containers including memory hungry ones like elastic…
  • Yeah, fitting new RAM sticks into free slots is easy indeed. I could do it myself. They want 35 eur for disassembling the whole laptop to get to factory sticks underneath the keyboard. This is more tricky and i rather outsource such activity.
  • I totally expected modding bios voids warranty - i just wondered if reflashing back to stock is all i'd need to do in case i need my warranty. I have some trusted laptop repair stores around and i'm not that confident with disassembling entire laptop by myself. 
  •  It depends where you look at on the internet, sometimes they will tell you the performance gain is marginal. Sometimes it's around 20 FPS difference between 2400 and 3200: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQAtsKX3mE
  • First of all, i've seen your post before as it came up on google when i was looking for any useful information on this subject. I'm honestly impressed with what you did. If i'm going to do it - i'm not going to do it myself. For 35 EUR a local laptop service is going to replace stock RAM sticks without any hassle. I…
  • I apologize for the small font, i don't know how to reformat output in powershell: __GENUS : 2 __CLASS : Win32_PhysicalMemory __SUPERCLASS : CIM_PhysicalMemory __DYNASTY : CIM_ManagedSystemElement __RELPATH : Win32_PhysicalMemory.Tag="Physical Memory 1" __PROPERTY_COUNT : 36 __DERIVATION : {CIM_PhysicalMemory, CIM_Chip,…
  • According to guide, definitely yes. But this motherboard (apparently) can handle more. I'd really want to know if it's possible to go all the way to 3200Mhz. Going from to 2400 to 2666 might be a marginal increase in performance, but 2400 to 3200 is a different story. I guess even if i put more, i'd have to mod the BIOS.
  • OK, so the laptop came today. 2 x 8 GB 2400 Mhz inside. I started AIDA64 to check and it tells me the following thing: The highlighted part is described as "Supported Memory Types". As you can see it's a pretty impressive list ending at 3200 Mhz. So is this information reliable in any way? I've found this post online:…
  • Thank you for this information, Laurent. I'm not entirely sure how to interpret information you provided, in terms of what is the max frequency i could put in there. You mention AMD memory specs, does this mean i could insert 2933 Mhz? For me i guess it's a bit too much of work but i could take it to some laptop repair…
  • Unfortunately, there are only 2400 RAM available on the market in my country, also for Intel-based configurations. The obvious reason for AMD is the price - it is way cheaper than Intel configuration with i9 CPU. This laptop would be used mostly as a workstation, with some occasional gaming involved. AMD configuration…
  • I want to have as capable piece of hardware as i can without limiting factors. If i hear, that 2400 memory isn't working well with the AMD CPU, then it's a thing to get rid of for me. I will also replace mediocre SSD as well as HDD, but this is not a problem - IF i decide to buy this laptop. I don't own this laptop yet,…
  • thanks for your reply. The problem is that i want to replace 2 stock RAM sticks with more capable components. This laptop has 4 RAM slots. Two are occupied by stock memory sticks, the other two are free and easily accessible (as described in the link you provided). So the trick is the get rid of 2 slow memory sticks in the…
